Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 161: Overt and covert attacks

After all, when it comes to horse racing, no one can guarantee that there won’t be any accidents.

In previous years when Princess Fuling was around, no one dared to compete with her for the throne, not to mention that they could not win anyway.

Other noble daughters do not need to go to the horse race and can easily visit the palace to pay their respects, so there is no need to cause trouble for themselves.

Under the circumstances this year, these young ladies who have no chance to enter the palace will naturally fight to the death.

But before that, they didn't mind uniting to deal with her first. After all, she had been in the spotlight enough in the past few days.

These rich girls are not good at anything else, but jealousy is their number one trait.

Thinking about it, Shen Muyin felt mocked, but he still appeared to be calm and composed on the surface.

"Ms. Zhao." Shen Muyin nodded at Zhao Lingling, but his attitude was lukewarm throughout.

Zhao Lingling sneered. Seeing Shen Muyin's attitude, she was naturally unhappy.

She walked straight forward and said, "Shen Muyin, don't think that just because the Crown Prince brought you into the hunting ground, you really think of yourself as the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace. Don't you even look at your own weight? Is the position of Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace something you can dream of?"

Zhao Lingling spoke directly, and the women around her also covered their mouths and laughed, with the mockery in their eyes obvious.

Shen Muyin raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Miss Zhao, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. I always talk to people nicely. If I see a dog barking, do I have to imitate the dog and bark back?"

She spread her hands and even sighed, seeming extremely helpless.

In this situation, Zhao Lingling's face changed and she pointed at Shen Muyin: "What did you say! Shen Muyin, how dare you scold me!"

"Ms. Zhao, what did I say? Why do you take it personally?" Shen Muyin looked extremely innocent. "After all, I have always called you names in my writings, unless that's what you think."

"You..." It was the first time that Zhao Lingling had been treated like this, and she couldn't swallow it.

The people around also looked at Shen Muyin with a common hatred, but Shen Muyin did not take these rich girls seriously.

They are not even worthy of being opponents. There is no need for Shen Muyin to waste any time on them. It is meaningless.

"What are you doing?" The official who manages the competition every year walked in and shouted angrily in a low voice.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Zhao Lingling's eyes became more and more resentful when she looked at Shen Muyin. Shen Muyin was very calm and didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Go back to your horses, the race is about to start," the official urged.

Now, everyone quickly packed up. Zhao Lingling's horse was next to Shen Muyin, and she passed by Shen Muyin with a sullen face.

"Shen Muyin, let's wait and see. I want to see how you can still show off your horse racing prowess." Zhao Lingling sneered and spoke coldly.

Shen Muyin said "oh" but still didn't take it to heart, looking very indifferent.

Zhao Lingling was even more furious.

Shen Muyin was already standing beside the horse. When she saw the horse, she recognized it. It was Shen Zhenzhen's beloved horse.

Although it cannot be compared with Liefeng, it is also a first-class good horse. This kind of horse will not easily accept a second owner.

If Shen Muyin remembered correctly, in the previous life, Shen Zhenzhen had suffered a lot in taming this horse.

Now that he knows he can't come and wants Shen Muyin to come instead, he still puts the horse here, which is clearly an attempt to kill Shen Muyin.

Killing someone with a borrowed knife is really a vicious move.

Or this dumb beast. If anything happens to her, I'm afraid she will die unjustly.

Suddenly, Shen Muyin was grateful to Donggong for forcing him to learn how to ride a horse during the hunting trip, and he rode Liefeng.

Otherwise, here today, Shen Muyin would be afraid that no one would be able to help him cries out to the heavens or the earth.

After a moment of silence, Shen Muyin calmed down and walked to the side of the horse.

The horse sensed that it was not its owner, and it kept snorting impatiently. As long as Shen Muyin approached, Shen Muyin had no doubt that the hoof was on him.

But Shen Muyin remained calm, recalling in his mind the way Qin Chuyan taught him to train horses.

The people around have already mounted their horses and are ready to gallop at any time.

The rules of horse racing are simple. Whoever returns to the starting point first after going around the hill will be the final winner.

Everyone seemed eager to try.

Zhao Lingling had also mounted the horse and looked down at Shen Muyin: "Shen Muyin, you can't even be unable to mount a horse."

As she spoke, Zhao Lingling laughed sarcastically: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that Zhenzhen's horse only recognizes Zhenzhen as its master. If anyone approaches, Ma Ting will kick them to death without mercy."

Zhao Lingling emphasized the last word "death".

Shen Muyin remained calm: "Really?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Muyin quickly and accurately grabbed the reins and jumped up.

She remembered Qin Chuyan's words: to tame a wild horse, you have to be stronger than it. The horse will be able to sense it if you show weakness in front of it.

Then you will never be able to ride this horse in your life.

Qin Chuyan also said that as long as you can tame the fierce wind, then no horse in this world will be your opponent and they will all be obedient.

The moment Shen Muyin got on the horse, he clenched his legs, pressed down on the horse, and leaned forward slightly, ready to sprint.

"Behave yourself, okay?" Shen Muyin warned the restless horse under him word by word.

The man and the horse were in a stalemate, but Shen Muyin refused to give an inch and did not give the horse any chance to struggle.

In this situation, the horse was tired and panting, and gradually became soft and not as excited as before.

Zhao Lingling, who was standing by, found this unbelievable.

"You, how could you get on Zhenzhen's horse!" Zhao Lingling said in shock.

Didn't Shen Muyin know nothing about horse racing? Why did she look like a very calm veteran now?

Zhao Lingling was a little dazed for a moment, but Shen Muyin was looking at Zhao Lingling the whole time, kicking his horse's belly and walking towards the starting point.

The people around came to their senses and quickly followed.

The moment Shen Muyin appeared, she felt Qin Chuyan's eyes on her, without showing any emotion.

She didn't look at Qin Chuyan, but the corner of her eyes fell on Qin Chuyan, and there was a hint of confidence and calmness in her eyes.

Qin Chuyan felt it and laughed softly, then he asked Li Dequan beside him calmly: "What do you think of today's situation?"

Li Dequan was a shrewd man and he could see what Qin Chuyan was thinking. He smiled and continued to speak in response to Qin Chuyan's words.

"Your Highness, the winner of this year's horse race will definitely be Miss Shen. After all, Miss Shen was taught by Your Highness. If she can tame Liefeng, there is no horse that cannot be tamed." Li Dequan said with certainty.
